  1. Firstly, media had a huge responsibility to bear. Not mainly media illiteracy but the distrust of journalistic integrity of traditional news organisations that would be centre, or performatively "non biased" but wholly uncritical of the existing system (economy, society, government, law). These days are the sprouts of the Alt-Right seeds. Fox News, British tabloids, GBNews, TurningPoint now PragerU etc always had shady owners, motives, associates and business models. They held unaccountable power for being owned by the wealthy and well connected to mostly avoid tax, and now manufactures culture wars for "right wind audiences" that will not result far from the hate crimes of the Serbian war and Rewandan genocide. The decline in material (and political and diplomatic) conditions that has taken a turn since 2008 was well warned in advance that there'll be a rise in antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia and do on that does persist most online. Hungary, Poland, UK, now Italy, Finland, Sweden they seen very similar patterns. It's no reclaiming of western identity like they think they do - it was always a trick to distract people from the real causes of austerity, inflation and wealth transfer from public capital and revenue to private means. But any Antisemite, racist, reactionary conservative or pro-establishment centrist will all plug their ears, shake their heads and shout traitor when groups start to point out inherit systemic flaws of capitalism, of wealth inequality, generational and inherited. Forgiveness of debt, public funding, co-operatives. All that jazz that so many since the 80s have been thoroughly conditioned to reactly badly too.
